Bum Ruffles, Anyone?

Sonia Rose's dress is needing only 3 rows of lavender chiffon bum ruffles to be complete. I believe that the length will be just about right, but it may be too big around. I'll know for sure when she gets here in just 2 more days!

Tomorrow I will be edging 5 white chiffon rectangles to be used as wraps by the bridesmaids. I found a great stitch on my serger--a 3-thread picot edge. It works great. I wished I'd seen that page in my serger workbook when I was hemming Kim's bridal veil.

I've been working on a slideshow for the wedding reception--it also is almost complete. I'm waiting for a few more pictures to arrive. I've borrowed I-don't-want-to-know-how-many-thousands-of-dollars worth of projection equipment from a wonderful, generous and marvelously technically savvy couple from our church. I've had a rehearsal with it & it all seems to work fine. A full dress rehearsal including completed slideshow, laptop, projector, speakers and screen will take place on Tuesday or Wednesday. It's a terrific show, if I do say so myself. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
